I’m a list maker when it comes to getting things done, so much so that my lists have lists. But who will hold me accountable or remind me if I forget a task? I took some inspiration from our developers to set up an alert using Todoist, Zapier, and Dead Man’s Snitch.

Android: Want a reminder note every time you look at your smartphone? ReNotify lets you add persistent notes to your Notifications pane which won’t go away when you tap the ‘Dismiss All Notifications’ icon.

When it comes to most daily tasks, a to-do list or app will help you remember everything. For other, less-urgent tasks that don’t make it on your list, however, a recent study suggests some solid visual cues will help you out quite a bit.

iOS/Android/Facebook Messenger: Poncho wakes you gently with music that changes with the weather, offers a simple, useful forecast for the day, provides transit and traffic info, and helps you get through the day with a few GIFs and some jokes—and a cartoon kitty.

If you’re like me, you head out to run errands only to get back home and realize there’s at least one thing you forgot to do. If you’re an iPhone user, you can set up a location-based reminder that comes in handy for situations like this.

Cortana, Microsoft’s smart assistant for Windows 10 and Windows Phone, picked up two useful upgrades today: the ability to float reminders based on your email, and notifications when meetings on your calendar are at odd times, during your commute, or have other useful context you should know.

To-dos are easy to remember if you have an app with reminders. Principles, personal goals, things that motivate you, or reminders to help you build good habits (or break bad ones) are trickier, and not well handled by apps that just ping until you ignore them.

One of Inbox by Gmail’s best features (aside from a silly name) is the ability to “snooze” emails until later. Now that feature is getting better for emails that include a date or time, like restaurant reservations, flights, or hotel confirmations.

Mac: We all need to be reminded of things throughout the day, but setting up a series of alerts and tones isn’t always the best. Gestimer is a Mac app that sits in your menu bar and lets you quickly create short term reminders by just dragging down on the icon.

Keep, the slim-but-handy note-taking app from Google, got a useful update today that added two features: labels, so your note can finally get a bit more organized, and recurring reminders, so you can remember to actually use those notes. The update is live on the web, and should be rolling out to Android slowly…

At the moment, most of you are probably counting down to about twelve different holidays or events. Sorting through how much time you have is math you don't need right now. Google Now is making it a bit easier by giving you countdowns to holidays it recognizes.

Android/iOS/Web: Today, Google took the wraps off a big new email application. Now, you can view important information directly in your inbox, set reminders or snooze emails, and even bundle related email together with better smart categories.

Android: While some people are naturally outdoors-y types, many of us have to be reminded that a world outside the home or office exists. Daylight helps by keeping track of how long you leave the house and reminding you to get off the couch.

We all procrastinate in some form or another. Sometimes, even a detailed daily schedule isn't enough to keep that from happening. The Atlantic suggests that instead of setting reminders that tell you to do something in the future, you set them as late as possible.
